Rikki is a 7-year-old, 15-pound Bichon Frise / Dachshund mix. His former owner had passed away, so Rikki and 5 Bichon friends were surrendered to the shelter. He is the only one left still waiting for his forever home.

Rikki requires minor, but regular treatment; his new owner will have to bring him to the vet regularly because he might have a chronic prostatitis. That means that his owner needs to take him to the bathroom more often.

Rikki is very handsome; his eyes are different color. Keep in mind that he will require regular grooming, but that said, he is hypoallergenic and will make a great pet for someone who is allergic to pet dander. Rikki’s ideal home would be one without other pets, and without young children because he loves to get all the attention of his owners; he is a people’s dog and would prefer to have human company most of the time. He has lived with other dogs, and with dog-savvy cats.
